Help[Opinions] Re: July/August BAs
in reply to a message by Sofia
Off topic, but I know someone who named their daughter Nola as a Mignola reference. I'm not even kidding. I kind of went "BLEEUEGHEGV!" at them, and I couldn't make up my mind as to whether it was cool or sad or gross or awesome. I still can't. I so hate it, but the geekdom, the geekdom... it calls to me. Anyway, that's what I think of Nola.
I adore Nikola on a boy. Nikola Tesla! Yes! I threaten everyone with naming my unborn child Nikola, and if I could, I so would. I mean, name him after Nikola Tesla, super-scientist? Who wouldn't? I'd probably drive my unborn son insane reminding him of his cool namesake, however.
Niko is not as good as Nikola, but probably better in a multilingual society, and across cultures translates better.
Noa is more feminine to me nowadays. I'm warming to it, but I'd never use it... it just looks and sounds more cool-girl-name than cool-boy-name.
Nenad... gonad? Oh god, lowering the tone. I know that's not the de facto association, but I don't even know any more. I am undecided about Nemanja.
Oh, and why does the world cruely lack an abundance of people named Zvonimir? Bamf name. And I like Sanja and Maja. The only problem with Sanja (if said with a 'y') is its tendency to bare a passing resemblance with the end of 'lasagne' said with a thick Brit accent. It was a friend's favourite name, and I always thought it pretty, until my sister butted into one of our geeky conversations and said 'Sanja / Sanya... like... lasagne?'. Boom, ruined for me.
